He worked for several years in the oil field. In all his time driving trucks, he always favored Mack trucks. He also worked as a mechanic and owned RPM Repair in Clay City. In his later years, he enjoyed buying and selling, and owned The Bargain Barn in Flora.

He was an avid collector and had an eye for unique items. He enjoyed collecting a variety of things, especially toys and Hot Wheels, and he loved to send random treasures home with his grandkids. He loved to go to auctions to build his collections. He never met a stranger.
